Innovation transcends the barrier of sex.Or so it seems in case of an American woman who is selling her hugs to make bucks.

Reports say Jackie Samuel (29) has put her hugs on sale to finance her studies and look after her son.

Her conditions are :no smoodging,no fiddling with her body parts;snuggling allowed inside her New York home where she receives her clients wearing underwear and pyjama.Her clients include pensioners and war veterans.Her charges are 60 US dollar an hour.

In the US society,there were many old men.Many had their wives dead.They needed some one to be with,some one to take care of their autumn sex.There were also younger clients who were in between relationships.Jackie was meeting their need.

A report quotes her saying that “snuggling is healthy,spiritual and fun.”
